Want to leave with PB/treats in my puppy's crate for short periods when I'm gone. I know he won't be ale to destroy it, but will it hurt his teeth?

Depends on his teeth really. It is not a rock hard toy, but if he has weak teeth, etc. Possibly?! I let my 8mo with hers in her crate, and she was fine...

I'm not sure, but this particular product is for bigger dogs - perhaps you would want something more directed toward puppies for now.

This is a rubberized product. It has give to it. I don't see how it would hurt your dog's teeth. The only thing I would suggest is getting the puppy kong. This is for an adult dog. It is very large.

My puppy was actually able to get a bigger piece off. It would depend on how long you leave your puppy and how big they are.

I don't think so. I put half a milkbone treat in it and it occupies him for hours. He hasn't shown any signs of pain or anything, but it definitely keeps him out of mischief!

My puppy has been chewing on one of these for several months. Hasn't been a problem for her. It has helped keep her teeth clean.

It is cloth and plastic and easily chewed. I would recommend using a wire crate until you are sure they won't chew. A good test is a dog bed in the wire crate, if they are over 6 months (past teething) and don't chew up a bed left with them you could try a soft crate.

It should be ok, but I would give the pup access to water. The attachable tray may or may not work and putting a water dish in the crate is not a good idea - sure to be spilled. Of course, if your pup has been crate trained, then I assume he has spent a whole night in it - 4 hours should not be a problem for a mature dog.

I have given these types of bones to both my lab mixes since they were a little over a year old, and pieces do chip/break off. If they break a large piece off, I do throw that away so they don't risk choking on it. (I don't let them have the bones when I can't watch them). They have never had an upset tummy though from eating the bone chips. Not sure a puppy's digestive system can handle the bone though, so you may want to check with your vet to see if this type of chew treat is okay.

For short trips, this carrier would be fine. I would be concerned that he would chew his way through the bottom of the door if he can get his teeth through one of the holes. You could paint the chew spots with hot sauce, if you think that would deter him.

At only 3 months old, I'm not sure. I don't think it would hurt her if she is eating kibble, puppy food, etc. If she is exhibiting this behavior problem, best to ask your vet to be sure. I crumble it up with dry food & low fat cottage cheese.

I would say that the regular size will last about 5 minutes. It is not as hard as many of the chews, because it is meant to be a teeth cleaner that is also easily digestible. Our dogs love the chews and we use them because they will not stay still for teeth brushing. If you want something that will be longer lasting but will not cause other problems like rawhide does, you might want to use a Kong and fill it with peanut butter, or fill with a peanut butter and yogurt mixture that you can freeze for the summertime.

I would not recommend this product for any house pet and would definitely be concerned with a dog that is nursing puppies. I would imagine the smell would make the puppies avoid the toxic smell and it made my dog ill just licking a very small amount.

Depends on what you put in there. I also use the Kong peanut butter with my puppy. He loves it.

I think the product has some sort of guarantee if chewed through the outer layer. You would have to check with the manufacturer

Probably in the long run not well. Use anti-chew spray on the rope and it should be prevented. I let the lead drag on the ground and you can tell there is abrasion so I would assume the same would occur with a puppy.

Yes, but be sure to watch her so it does get stuck in her mouth. Don't put her in her crate with it, for ex.You might look at "senior" (softer than regular) Greenies. As with the C.E.T. ones, do watch her; I wouldn't recommend them, however, as I feel they are unsafe. mb (ps - love the userid!)

The bottom of the crate, the tray, is plastic. Could be an issue if your pet is left in too long or has separation anxiety with nothing else to chew on. Would be worth a try even if you had to buy another tray. You won't find another crate this quality at this price.

I didn't experience that with my dog's treats. However, I would check with the manufacturer for their recommendation. (NOTE: I have added bread to hard cookies, etc. to soften in the past. Not sure if that would work here?)

They're dangerous for chewers, probably ok for lickers only. If you put it in water or vinegar and it doesn't soften in a short time, that is what is moving through your dogs digestive system. I dropped one and it shattered into glass like shards

For spraying the wire use Grannick's Bitter Apple, if you want to spray while he chews you can try also spraying him with Stop training spray but you need to have perfect timing...which won't work while you are away. You should try giving him something safe to chew on and make sure he is not in the crate too long. Make sure he feels being in the crate is a safe place...spraying him in the crate if he does not understand why could backfire and make it worse for him.
